Meet the Funders: Grants for Adventurous Art

New York

Wednesday, January 30, 2008
6:00-8:00 pm

Free Admission

Registration Closed.

The Foundation Center and The Field are pleased to present a Meet the Funders event for individuals working in the arts. Meet representatives of the Creative Capital Foundation and the Franklin Furnace Archive and learn about their grant opportunities and their perspectives on funding. These organizations provide grants for the creation of experimental and adventurous art.

Each year Franklin Furnace awards grants to emerging artists, allowing them to produce major performance art works in New York; its mission is to present, preserve, interpret, and advocate on behalf of avant-garde art.

In 2008 Creative Capital's Grants for Individual Artists will support projects in innovative literature, performing arts (including dance, music, theater, experimental music performance, experimental opera, spoken word, theater/performance art and interdisciplinary projects), and emerging fields which may include all forms of digital arts, audio work, multidisciplinary projects and new genres.

This discussion is an opportunity to learn about these two supportive organizations, their grant opportunities, and how to submit an effective proposal to them.
